In the wake before sunrise, Saddam finally met his fate. As we watched, and waited for the confirmation he was hanged, infliction less than he ordered for the many that he slaughtered, tortured and left for dead in the open desert, yet his fate would later confirm...Saddam IS DEAD.

There is a saying that goes, "what goes around, will come around," and surely this hanging has made history, yet, it has also brought closure to the many families he inflicted pain and suffering upon. A country Iraq, yet to be developed with less trained army...and many opposition at hand, the long lived dictatorship, monarch, evil-doer is DEAD.

This could not have come at a better time, before the end of the year in our culture, and the ending of Hajj and Ramadan in theirs. However, despite the ill feelings we may have had of him, he was a soul. A dad leaving his children, and a husband leaving his wife. Sad but true .

Some may say that he deserved every thread of the rope, and to many he did. He slaughtered, tortured many in his defiant anti-psyhcosocial mind.

The question remains, will his demise make Iraq a safer country without him, will this bring a halt to terrorism, will his death be another statistic, and last, will this bring our government to assert themselves to bring our troops home?

The spectators said, he shouted out, "God is Great" to the end, some said he refused the hooded mask, the green attire, and remained in his black suit; as you can see, to the end he continued to be defiant and disrespectful of the law, but in his final breath...GOD had the last say...and if he did not turn his life around for his deadly sins he commited (for his sake)...

HIS SOUL IS IN HELL.
